Traditional surgical techniques for segmental maxillary surgery include a combination of interdental osteotomies with paramidline bony cuts while keeping the palatal soft tissue intact. Besides surgical complexity, segmental maxillary procedures have been associated with higher incidence of relapse and complications. We present our experience with specific hard- and soft-tissue modifications (midline bony osteotomy and reflection of palatal soft tissue with carefully designed incisions) which will allow surgeons to perform larger expansions with a low incidence of complications and decreased relapse.
